Because this is an expansion set, it bears an expansion-set symbol, which is located near the top right corner of the card, to the right of the lore and below the destiny number. The symbols for this set are clashing lightsabers.
This set was sold in 15-card expansion packs and 36-pack expansion boxes. Each pack included one rare card, four uncommon cards, and ten common cards. Starter decks were never produced for this set. The set went out of print in September of 1998, when the A New Hope Revised Unlimited set came out—an almost identical set with some minor revisions to game text, and with white borders instead of black. A Japanese-text set was released for this expansion set in Japan.
This set was the original source for the names of many characters from Episode IV. These included a number of cantina patrons including Swilla Corey and Garouf Lafoe, Rebel officers Pello Scrambas and Bob Hudsol, the droid U-3PO, and Imperial officers Khurgee and Shann Childsen. The set also gives the Tusken Raider that attacked Luke Skywalker the name URoRRuR'R'R.
